High Priority
1. In early lore materials, Squigly’s full name was given as Sienna Quinton CiShan Contiello, and she has Dragon Empire heritage. Are these still canon?
* She still have some Chinese theme in her move but her heritage isn’t canon anymore. No middle names now
1. Were Marie and Patricia maids before they were captured by the slave traders, or was it the slave traders who captured them to be trained as maids?
* They weren’t technically maids. The orphanage was originally a nobleman’s house. So they made do with the clothes that were available. Marie took care of things around the house and the other kids would listen to her better if she dresses up like a adult
1. Previously, you have said that you can’t remember exactly what the functions of ASG Lab 5 and 6 used to be, but you think that they might have something to do with vehicle development and Theonite research. Could you confirm which one does what?
* 5: Specialised weapons, 6: theonite research
1. Avery the bird appears to be one of the manifestations of the Avery Unit’s power, but what exactly is the Avery Unit? Is it grafted onto Peacock? What does it look like?
* It’s up to our imagination :P
1. Would you consider putting more of your early 2003-2005 sketches into the art gallery? It's cool seeing the humble beginnings of such awesome characters.
* Yes
1. When Leviathan was Squigly's father's parasite, did he reside in him internally or externally? (I guess the question is if other people could see Leviathan usually when he was attached to Roberto)
* External. Arm or shoulder area
1. Can artificial parasites be unattached? Without any side effects?
* Depends on how they are attached. The point of attachment can’t be removed without massive surgeries, but unlike normal parasites, artificial parasites can have removable parts (like PW’s Buer Drive in the violin case) Peacock can remove her arms, like an action figure
1. Besides being more magic-based than Canopy Kingdom, what's the Chess Kingdom like in terms of population, culture, and architecture? Do any of the currently-revealed characters hail from the Chess Kingdom, or are there any revealed characters of Chess heritage? If so, which ones and in what ways?
* Mostly human, medieval European motif, but modern.
* Name comes from the majority of their military force having massive robot arms kinda like giant rooks
* Lore regarding this is uncertain so it could be changed
2. What exactly is "soul contamination", anyway? Does it have any noticeable effects, physically or mentally? Is it only caused by Synthetic Parasites?
* Mental corruption for ppl with multiple (synthetic or natural) parasites. Could probably kill the person. Very dangerous
1. Is there anything Peacock can't summon with the Avery Unit? How does that thing... work?
* Use your imagination lel
* She can’t literally summon anything out of thin air. They are modified arsenals. Even then there is a limit to her power
* Her power still growing, she might be able to summon more things in the future
1. Does being the Skullgirl change your personality much? Is Marie very different now from how she used to be?
* Yes. She is getting affected. More cold and ruthless. Still got a moral compass. She is resisting it with a strong will
1. How long would Parasites be able to survive while not being attached to a host? Is it necessary for Parasites to have food and sleep like other organisms?
* Don’t need food or sleep while they are detached. Depends on parasite. Some can go into minimal forms, like some bacteria
1. I always wondered if Vice-Versa had a secondary ability to not have its carrying weight affect Cerebella when she's wearing it, or if she herself had some kind of super strength, like with the elephants in her story mode.
* A bit of both. Vice versa negates some of the weight
1. It was mentioned that Peacock based her friends around people or things she has seen in the Lab, e.g. Andy was based on Stanley. Was Tommy based on Big Band and George and Lenny based on the huge 88 sphere in the middle of the Lab 8 stage? If not, who or what were they based on?
* More scientists. Tommy based on the big blocky scientist. The bombs are based on the small top knot guy
2. Squigly says “You used to be a lot shorter” to Parasoul. Have they met in the past? How much did they know each other?
* They haven’t met in person. Photos and TV

http://o-8.livejournal.com/2003/04/30/ To my knowledge, this post is the very first public display of any Skullgirls character, with Filia's first concepts dating some months after. Some months later, you drew more pictures of Peacock with a new design, and commented on the old design with "i think i like making peacock like this, than the previous design w/ the ugly patterns and shite". As all the pictures from your old website have since been purged, no one has seen Peacock's oldest design. Care to share/comment on it?
* Similar but more sharp. More like diamonds (the eyes). Patterns on her skirt . Skirt shape different. Face more angular. Taller.
* Peacock not the first skullgirls character tho. Posts of Umbrella, Parasoul before. Cerebella early 2003. Either squigly or para first character designed, before it was called skullgirls
1. Why was Peacock's design changed around so much? Did you originally have different plans for her?

2. How long has Annie's show been on TV? Do people know that she is immortal because of a Skullheart wish?
* She hides by getting different hairstyle. Eliza doing a similar trick
2. What purpose would the Mighty Metal Man have served for Lab 4? Was he a Skullgirl-fighting android? Was an AI like Ottomo meant to pilot the M3, or only to serve as an aide to a sentient pilot like Tom?

6. Did Beowulf fight in the Grand War?
* Might make sense that he is drafted. But not certain

* SHE’LL NEVER STOP BELIEVING
1. Trivia about Albus and Horace? How are their personalities and how do they stand fighting power-wise?
* Albus younger, more aggressive. Horace out of shape but more refiend and expeirenced. Work together well even if they argue every once in a while.
